<p class="purpose">The skill of compiling Inform 6 into a story file for the target VM.</p>

<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP1" class="paragraph-anchor"></a><b>&#167;1. </b>This can only be performed via the shell, as the Inform 6 compiler is never
part of the executables of the more modern Inform tools, and so can't be
called as a function.
